Landslide susceptibility map is very important for engineers, geologist, and land use planner
for prevention and mitigation of landslide hazard in the area. This paper presents landslide
susceptibility analysis for the part of tehsil Balakot, NW Himalayas, Pakistan. In this study,
topographical, geological and remote sensing data were collected and processed using
geographic information system (GIS) and ERDAS Imagine software. Nine influential
causative factors for landslide occurrence were used for this purpose. The causative factors …

Road instability along the Jerash–Amman highway was assessed using the weighted
overlay method in Geographic Information System environment. The landslide susceptibility
map was developed from nine contributing parameters. The map of landslide susceptibility
was classified into five zones: very low (very stable), low (stable), moderate (moderately
stable), high (unstable), and very high (highly unstable). The very high susceptibility and
high susceptibility zones covered 15.14% and 31.81% of the study area, respectively. The …
